One-Step Fabrication of pH-Responsive Membranes and Microcapsules through Interfacial H-Bond Polymer Complexation
Abstract Biocompatible microencapsulation is of widespread interest for the targeted delivery of active species in fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and agro-chemistry. Capsules obtained by the self-assembly of polymers at interfaces enable the combination of responsiveness to stimuli, bioco...

Abstract Biocompatible microencapsulation is of widespread interest for the targeted delivery of active species in fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and agro-chemistry.

This robust process is realized through different methods, to obtain capsules of various sizes, from the micrometer scale using microfluidics or rotor-stator emulsification up to the centimeter scale using drop dripping.
